FA-621 Painting

3 Credits

This course is designed for graduate students who wish to expand their vocabularies of painterly techniques and possibilities. The course emphasizes monochromatic underpainting and glazing to achieve effects not possible with direct painting. The course is based on figure painting. There will be multi-week poses with a live model, three hours per week, with demonstrations, readings and lectures on both contemporary and historical practice. Regular class discussions and critiques will develop critical thinking and self-evaluation skills.
